Just goes to show the immediate impact that an RTC can have on recruitment.
Kid can wrestle no doubt but theres a reason Michigan brought in the bigger guy. Its rare that you see smaller heavies at the top. If we see another few years with really big heavies like when we had Gable, Parris, Big Cass, Kerk, Schultz, Wood, the smaller guys will struggle. There will be some exceptions but the bigger/taller guys winning is the rule.
It’s the new technical training. if you can take someone down, while they are swinging a 9 iron at you, you can take anyone down.
I get it, "If you can dodge a 9-iron you can dodge a single leg". That is a brilliant training technique and those words should be immortalize on the wall of the practice facility.
Big weekend coming up for Oklahoma State. Bo and Jax are confirmed in addition to a huge clinic. Football Game and Wrestling dual together.
You better hope Jax and Bo don't get shin splints from the cowboy boots you will give them. We safely give them ice cream cones. 🤣
Great opportunity for DT and the Cowboys. Who is the football opponent?
Maybe I'm being pessimistic but I expect maybe a slightly bigger crowd than what we would typically see on a Friday night in Nov. against Wyoming.
If that’s all that shows up then it’ll be a colossal failure by our fanbase. 1st dual or the DT era with a loaded team of AA’s and the biggest recruiting weekend of the year. We’ll deserve whatever the fallout is.
Just because you're getting Nachos doesn't make you an insider . You gotta earn those Nachos
ahh .. the first dual of the DT era was Utah Valley, there was crowd up to the rafters, course it was also the first dual of the Hall era.
The more important question is how much did he have to pay these five people to show up with him. 🤣
Lol you know what I meant... first home dualahh .. the first dual of the DT era was Utah Valley, there was crowd up to the rafters, course it was also the first dual of the Hall era.
I hope I’m wrong. I’m just guessing. Our crowds tend to be good so I don’t think it is a disaster.
When one ticket gets you into both duals it doesn’t sound like they are expecting a sell out or anything.
... but is it true they ordered 5x the normal truck loads of nachos? 🤔
I would think there is going to be a lot of people there with all of the hype of the new coaching staff. Think about it, this will be the first home dual in 30 plus years where John Smith is not the coach.
....I was around when JS wrestled and began coaching. When DT and team starts tomorrow, I intend to catch the first match about 30 years from now..........and also for the second match Sunday..........best to all.......rs
Bo Bassett today:
This weekend we are heading out to Oklahoma State. I am really excited to see Stillwater and see the new vision for their program. OK State has some serious wrestling tradition over the years and I am pumped to see their wrestling atmosphere. I hope I get a chance to scrap with Daton Fix and RBY when we are out there. I also plan to catch up with Ladarion Lockett as well. Friday we attend their first home match vs Wyoming, then Saturday a football game vs Texas Tech and Sunday another match vs Arizona State. This will be the last visit until late January. Then anymore I want to check out will have to be in the spring after states.

Jax is coming with Bo this weekend, correct? Is there anyone else coming?
Bo already posting media footage of visit. Love the picture of our top recruits from this years class with Bo and Jax!
I thought it was interesting how Bo sat with his dad most the match and not the other recruits (row behind them anyway). At least the second half was when I realized it. He also seemed way more into each match than the others. Same with Dee.
Sounds like to me that he is super focused on the decision he has in front of him and is taking it very seriously. I read somewhere that this would be his last visit, unless he decides to make a visit somewhere after the wrestling season. Love the picture that Mineo posted of all of them in the wrestling room. That could be one hell of a lineup!
I also seen that Stillwater wrestler Ayden Thomas committed to Northern Colorado. That is a good fit for him with a redshirt next year and to be able to roll around with Poulin and Serrano and then step into either 125 or 133 for them the year after.
He has one more visit lined up in Jan to Rutgers. Then he will wait until after the season to schedule more
talked to Bo’s mom for a bit. They were really impressed by the tailgate and said that only Iowa can match OSU’s culture. Also said she wished it were a bit closer
Did you tell her about Granny's? Will make it feel like home.talked to Bo’s mom for a bit. They were really impressed by the tailgate and said that only Iowa can match OSU’s culture. Also said she wished it were a bit closer
Maybe she wishes it was closer because she is going to miss her son when he is wrestling for OK State and won't be able to see him as much! hahatalked to Bo’s mom for a bit.

I like your thinking. For real they were really nice. Fed Bo’s brother a few times..he must not be cutting weight lol
Jax’s family nice too
I'm not getting my hopes up for BO I think he is PSU to lose unfortunately. Jax on the other hand will be interesting. I felt better about our chances before all the changes.
